Hi Kai
I don't know how accurate this is but I seem to recall someone telling me
they kept loosing charge unless the battery was removed from the car, they
said it was down to the fact that the top of the battery was dirty and the
terminals were in close proximity to the strap, with the verdigris on that
they reckoned it was discharging. Sounds like bull to me but I thought it
might help you if true. Wouldn't the strap warm up if it drew that much
current! Any one know if this is correct?

| Also note that as an experiment I had the battery out the past three days,
| charged it as much as it took (12.40ish... at a steady 10AMP and then 2AMP
| rate on my battery charger until full). The battery held the charge
| completely while out of the car, because I checked it each day and the
| voltage did not decrease and the battery charger also indicated that it
was
| still fully charged.
